Overview
Earthworm-derived fibrinolytic enzyme complex.
- Endogenously produced or biosynthesized molecule
- Standardized pharmaceutical- or food-grade supplement
- Combined with cofactors that improve absorption or activity
- Capsule or softgel
- Powder
- Sublingual or buccal
- Liposomal liquid
Mechanism of action
Directly digests fibrin and activates plasminogen; lowers blood viscosity.
